Episode 53 - June 30, 2017

If we had talked earlier in the week, maybe we would have been more hopeful about the Braves' overall chances of contending this year. Instead, this episode begins by discussing the Bartolo Colon era's conclusion, and what it might mean for the team's other older pitchers. As usual, we end up focusing mostly on the future of the Braves. This one is different, though, because we tried to game out the short term, medium term, and long term future of the club. Specifically, we look at who might be traded and what we'd be happy getting in return. The answers, broadly speaking, are half the roster and some prospects higher up the chain. What's funny is, this is kind of the team we thought they would be.
